MECHANICsTowN GOING AHEAD.-Our
neighbors of the charming little mountain
village of Mccllanicstown are wisely consil
ering the question of introducing water into
their homes. OF all the towns in the coun-
ty, there is none more attractive or more
beautifully located than Mcchanicsown.-
With good water and plenty of it, VIC should
think the town could well CLAIM q good
share of the summer visitors who are always
looking after healthy convenient and cheap
place to live. Situated on the Western
Maryland Railroad, with good hotels good
boarding houses, u live newspaper, daily
mails, and within few hours run from Bal
timore, We cannot see why Mechanicstown
should not be first class summer resort
